Steph got what she wanted in Akihabara |
Nathan got a "bad luck" fortune in Kyoto, but he enjoyed Akihabara! |
By Nathan and Steph
[Today we left Hiroshima hostel and returned to Tokyo by Shinkansen. It took about 5 hours from Hiroshima and Tokyo.]
Nathan: Akihabara was Crazy. Everything except stuff I actually was looking for was really cheap compared to America. There were vertical electronics shopping malls. It was geek paradise. The capsule hotel was surprisingly comfortable.
Steph: The capsule hotel was probably one of the highlights of the trip for me. Being small, the room was just about the perfect size. I could almost stand all the way up. It did not have quite the same homey feel of the hostels or the host families, but it was nice to have a little privacy. I only hit my back crawling out of my capsule once. It got a small scrape to show for it, but it did not tarnish the experience.
